Abstract

A study on the occurrence of. defective pieces of prawns at
three different stages of processing of headless shell on and peeled
and deveined varieties was undertaken, each in one freezing factory.
The average percentages of the defective prawns together with. the·
standard deviation observed over a period of one year at the thr·ee
stages are mentioned. Correlation is indicated between the occurrence
of the def~ctive pieces at the pre-freezing stage and those of
earlier stages.
